Is worth it to keep Strasburg? I have 7th pick in the draft with at least 4 other managers who have man crushes on him so I wouldn't feel very confident about being able to land him in the draft. I have a general Idea of who I want to keep but any advice will be greatly appreciated!

I'd offer to help in return but I'm garbage and you prob don't want my help anyway

I normally don't advise keeping so many arms but you got some nice starters there and that all but locks up SP for you. I'd like to see any opponent out pitch you! Plus 3b (a hard position to fill will be taken care of and you have nice balance to start your OF). make sure you focus on big 1b bat and quality tier two SS with your first two picks. Strasburg would be just a waste of a roster slot and keeper selection for you at this point.

I would forget about Strasburg and not think twice about it. You keep guys who ARE valuable not guys who MAY become valuable unless you have no better options. And right now it looks like you have to cut one of Jeter, Weeks or Oswalt. They woudl be your weekest keepers imo. Baustista would add in a level of uncertainty too, but I can't see letting him walk. Oswalt has had his ups and downs, but I think you have to keep him as well even if you have 3 other SPs to keep. That makes it between the aging Jeter and the always injured Weeks. Risk there either way, but I would probably go with the younger Weeks here and hope he does not Nick Johnson you.

FYI I can keep whoever I want for however long I want with no penalties, so that's why I would consider Strasburg. Anyone have any advice on who else to keep if I did keep Strasburg so I could see what my team might look like?

You should absolutely keep Strasburg. Here's how I would keep the team:

Keep Strasburg as your 9th keeper then hype him like no-one's business and trade him with Oswalt (I don't like having 3 SPs from the same team) to a guy who's got no quality starters for a huge bat. In short, I would keep him and trade him for a bat as soon as possible.
